Running GED2HTML the Simplest Way

The simplest way to run GED2HTML is as follows:
  1. From the file manager, go to the directory that contains GED2HTML.EXE and G2H.EXE.
  2. Double click on the icon representing GED2HTML.EXE. A dialog box will pop up.
  3. Enter the name of the GEDCOM file to be processed in the space provided. Use a full path if the file is not in the same directory as where GED2HTML.EXE and G2H.EXE are located. Select other options as desired. For a description of the available options and their effect on the output, see here.
  4. Press OK. The dialog box will disappear and G2H.EXE will be started with the options you selected. When processing is completed, the word ``FINISHED'' will appear in the lower left-hand corner of the window.
  5. The output of G2H.EXE is placed in a subdirectory ``HTML'' of the directory from which it is run. With your Web browser, peruse the output (start with ``PERSONS.HTM'') to make sure that it is OK.
